Following the recent retirement and trades of some of their bigger name players, it\u2019s safe to say the New York Yankees are without that marquee guy to strut his stuff on Madison Avenue.<\/p>\n

Sure, sure, we all know about what Gary Sanchez is capable of and how Dellin Betances is a hometown guy. And, yeah, I suppose Chase Headley did appear in a longform spot for Coldwell Banker spot<\/a><\/strong> (yawn) after switching coasts a couple of years ago, but c\u2019mon\u2026we\u2019re not at the point where any of them is going to front a Nike campaign.<\/p>\n

Thankfully they do have Masahiro Tanaka and, surprisingly, dude is the one taking Derek Jeter\u2019s place as the face of the franchise.<\/p>\n

That is, if by \u201cface of the franchise\u201d you mean \u201cstar of a video game commercial\u201d.<\/p>\n[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jSfl5wFKAXM]\n

Yeah, that\u2019s Tanaka in a Japanese commercial for the upcoming Pok\u00e9mon Sun and Moon Nintendo 3DS video game and if this commercial shows you anything it\u2019s this\u2026this game is all about throwing that damn red and white ball.<\/p>\n

Seriously, I know nothing about Pok\u00e9mon, nor do I pretend to, but I couldn\u2019t be less excited about a video game. It\u2019s probably fun, but, hey\u2026I\u2019ll never know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
